I don't know if many remember that 3 months ago after an MRI, there was something odd seen in my hip bone? I had to go to an orthopedic to have further x-rays and he was concerned there was something growing in my right hip. He decided the best course would be to come back in 3 months and repeat the x-rays and if there was any change, he'd go in to biopsy the bone. It's been hanging over my head for the last 3 months and today was my follow-up. The news was really good. There's been absolutely no change and he said it's clearly just denser bone. I'm home and having a beer as I'm just frigging relieved!

You flaming hetero!! Harumph!! LOL (and'awhy I love you!)



I'm glad to see there are consequences, but I do feel badly for the non-hateful people in the state. The hateful? Not at all! :evil:

Are the lawmakers more "hateful," or incredibly stupid?

Beyond -

I'm sorry to see Parkes go. I haven't ordered them for awhile, but I used to. They even created a flavor for me years ago (Coconut Cream) when I couldn't find one anywhere.

There once was a woman whose dream
was the perfect coconut cream
but all of the samples
taste of pie or pineapple
and at this point she's ready to scream

Anyway, I got an email from them yesterday:

Parkes vaping LLC will be semi closing around the first to second week of June 2016.

The new Indiana Bill HB 1432 that passed last year has a majority of Indiana vape shops closing down and sadly Parkes will be on that long list at least partly. We will still offer flavorings for those who DIY and we are also considering selling individual DIY kits. We have not made a firm decsion on the DIY kits but if we were to sell them it would be as follows..... The customer would give all the info that they do now as in pg/vg ratio, nic, flavor, bottle size etc. You would be sent everything in the exact amounts to mix into the empty bottle that would come in the kit. There would be no need for calculators or guessing on your part it would all be done for you. You would only need to pour each item into the empty bottle and shake. This is something that is still being decided on because reseach has not been completed to see if it follows the guidlines of the new bill.


I haven't read the bill, but this just seems bizarre. A customer can be sent straight nicotine, but not mixed with a flavor? :blink:

ETA: There is a 40% off sale today and tomorrow.
That sounds like Utah, when I visited 20 years ago. I went to a Mexican restaurant and felt like a margarita, but I was ignorant of Utah archaic liquor laws at the time. The waiter smiled, went over to their margarita machine and poured out my drink. When he delivered it to the table, he set the glass down with the slushy margarita and set a miniature bottle of Jose Cuervo next to it. "I'm sorry sir, you will have to pour the alcohol yourself."

Hey, it worked for Utah, maybe it will for Indiana?

I don't think he's a hater or incredibly stupid. He's a trans man according to the hashtags so I get what he was saying.

I'm aware he's not a hater. My comment was whether those who passed the law are more stupid than hateful. Yes, they are hateful, but also incredibly stuupeed.

Didn't you buy something else prior & 24 hrs later there was a flash sale?
No, not me. I remember that post though, I think the OP contacted them and they gave him the discount. Like someone else mentioned though, that's the point of a "flash sale," to drum up business that day, and I guess I wouldn't feel right about hitting them up for the discount. Instead, I'll just:

Damn good reason to celebrate! You are on a roll sir!

It is! Oh my yes indeed it is!!

Thanks RB! I used to feel bad because every time I went it cost me $200... I feel better now... uh-huh.

You just wait Scott. We thought we did really well Saturday an only spent $235. But then there were two things we didn't get we went back for on Sunday and spent another $200. So the bar has been raised. It's $400 now!!

I definitely didn't forget but figured you'd say more when you were ready. Wonderful news!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you need to celebrate by buying another Procyon & Radius!!!! ;)

Thanks Lex! You just can't imagine how incredibly relieved I am right now. I think I'll celebrate by buying nuttin! Yes I will!!

Are the lawmakers more "hateful," or incredibly stupid?

Edited to clarify my point.

Yes to both! If you had a little girl and she needed to use the bathroom, can you imagine the fear she'd experience seeing him in the ladies room? Dumbest and meanest law EVER. Yes it is.

I got so drunk from drinking Champagne once that I was in bed for days afterwards. I can't drink it anymore. A simple beer and a nice dinner with Charlie and the kitties was all the celebration I needed. Yes it was!

I absolutely love what this Trans Man does:

Because of the hateful and stupid law, which forces him to now use the ladies room, he passes out this card to the ladies who are surprised to see him there:
